It is no way to bring up our future leaders. Still, northern political leaders, the great men of the moment, cannot be counted on the side of the children and their parents. Our political leaders, great winners of paid awards for good governance, must have some problems with the sacred responsibilities of governance.

What is the use of building primary and secondary schools and planting universities if the federal and state governments cannot guarantee the safety of the pupils and the students?
